Weekend Again..

Looming up , another weekend.They come round very quickly, the days just flashing by in a mist of routines etc.,
This morning we went over to Walton to the bigger Sainsbury's. Opposite it there used to be Walton Hospital where I had to go for most of my appointments. I now go to Aintree which is just up the road. We noticed as we were going past this morning that they are beginning to knock it down, getting it ready I suppose for housing units. it's quite a large plot of land actually, goodness knows how many houses, apartments etc are going to be built there. Vin noticed that the house at the other end of our road is up for sale again. It is a semi and has they say four bedrooms. On sale at £250,000 or a pound under that. Don't know why they bother with the pound. It's been very carefully photographed so that you just see the house and not the Post Office right next door. The blurb also says it is opposite a "Park" I wonder when that became a "Park"? it has always been our village green..funny how estate agents make things sound much better than they really are.Like our little terraced houses suddenly becoming cottages!!Well my house isn't one yet!!

The "Park" in the snow at the beginning of the year. The house that is for sale is the right hand one next to the Post Office!.
And so to Sainsbury's, which wasn't too busy, it never is actually, which makes it a pleasant shop to go to. Went round and followed Vin's list which was really useful today. Got all our weekend things and also a few other items we had run out of. Went round quite quickly then had our coffee in their car park at the side which is empty. Very pleasant. I had my new reactions glasses on but wouldn't you know it, no sun today, so didn't see whether they went brown quickly or not, and vice-a versa.
Not drizzly or blowy today though, in fact Vin is in the garden as I type this, getting rid of weeds, i think I can smell the weed burner. Still very quiet in the block, the neighbours haven't come back from Dubai yet on one side although I think they are due very soon. The ones on the other side are due back at the weekend or early next week.
Tonight we are having:
Cheese and onion pasties from Waitrose,
Baked tomatoes to make a bit of sauce,
Rice puddings also from Waitrose. Vins favourite!
